According to market news, South Korean courts plan to adopt new guidelines that will exclude debts incurred from stock or cryptocurrency investments from liquidation calculations, thereby reducing the total amount debtors need to repay creditors in personal restructuring procedures.The new regulations will be implemented this month in the courts of Daejeon, Daegu, and Gwangju. This is the latest measure by the South Korean government to address the debt issue. By 2025, the country's household debt-to-GDP ratio has risen to 92%, and the government has committed to controlling the growth rate of household debt at 3.8%. The Suwon and Busan courts have begun classifying some cryptocurrency and stock market investment losses as "general property" losses rather than "speculative debts." Seoul Bankruptcy Court Judge Lee Seok-jun called in 2024 for the government to establish more regulations to protect cryptocurrency investors. The Daegu Restructuring Court stated that it would penalize any debtors who "deliberately conceal" cryptocurrency purchases and "disguise them as failed investments."

Aster CEO Leonard has officially responded to the recent ongoing FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) surrounding the project. He stated that the accusations currently circulating are "completely false on a factual level" and represent "maliciously intended opinion manipulation without evidence." In response to questions regarding "sell-off accusations, CZ's involvement, and whether the project is 'exiting liquidity'," Leonard clarified: CZ is merely an advisor to the project, and the investment from Yzi Labs is in a long-term lock-up; Aster operates as an independent project, not controlled or directly operated by CZ or Binance entities. The related accusations are "baseless."He also emphasized that the token release and buyback follow a publicly available token economic model, aimed at incentivizing ecosystem participants rather than facilitating sell-offs. The project has recently upgraded its buyback mechanism, executing daily automatic buybacks on-chain (funded by protocol revenue) to enhance transparency and predictability. Leonard provided the following on-chain verifiable data: a total buyback of 254 million tokens; 78 million tokens have been burned, and an equivalent amount of tokens has been re-locked into the airdrop pool; plans to burn all remaining repurchased tokens in the future.The next development focus for the project includes: expanding asset liquidity and accelerating new listings; a privacy-first Layer 1 network expected to launch in March, achieving both verifiable transactions and privacy protection; subsequently introducing staking features for token holders; optimizing trading experience and interface design. The optimization direction for the token economic model includes: S6 being the last phase of trading airdrops, with future circulation growth expected to slow down; pausing the monthly 1% unlock until staking is live; and continuing to execute automatic buybacks (with up to 80% of fees used for buybacks during S6).

According to market news, Binance's head of the Asia-Pacific region, SB Seker, stated that Binance will complete compensation for users of the GoFi service under South Korea's Gopax within this year to address the liquidity crisis that has persisted since 2023. The compensation will be made in the exact same amount of cryptocurrency as the users' losses. A dedicated wallet has been prepared, containing assets such as 775.11 BTC and 5766.62 ETH, and is awaiting final approval from the relevant South Korean authorities.After completing the compensation, Binance plans to shift its focus to enhancing Gopax's technology and security standards, and is considering incorporating it into the Binance brand system at an appropriate time. In the long term, Binance will focus on areas such as stablecoins, real asset tokenization, and institutional services in the South Korean market, planning to collaborate with local institutions to launch a Korean won-pegged stablecoin and security token products. Although South Korean regulators have proposed limiting the shareholding ratio of major shareholders in exchanges to 15% to 20%, while Binance currently holds over 67% of Gopax's shares, Seker stated that they have sufficient experience to respond to this. He mentioned that South Korea is the pinnacle of digital assets in the Asia-Pacific region and is expected to become one of the top three digital asset centers globally. Binance will compete vigorously for market leadership in the next three to five years.

X product lead and Solana advisor Nikita Bier previously disclosed that they are currently developing Smart Cashtags. Some users in the crypto community have questioned the backend for querying crypto assets, stating that some small-cap crypto assets that are not yet listed on mainstream exchanges may not be queryable, ultimately forcing users to switch to DEX for queries.In response, Nikita Bier stated that the API (Application Programming Interface) used by the X platform will be able to process almost any on-chain minted content in real-time. Additionally, when users asked whether it would be possible to conduct crypto transactions on X using self-custody wallets or even CEX widgets in the future, Nikita Bier did not provide a clear response, only replying with a "follow" emoji.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov posted on the X platform on January 7, responding to the recent FUD surrounding Telegram. Durov stated that Telegram has no connection to Russia in its capital structure, and that there were "absolutely no Russian investors" involved in its recent $1.7 billion bond issuance.He further pointed out that the old debt issued by Telegram in 2021 has been largely repaid and does not pose a current risk.

Former Coinbase employee hish posted on the X platform early this morning, stating that Coinbase has not yet truly understood the value of content tokens. Content tokens must have sustainable revenue capabilities and be able to share value with token holders; otherwise, it is difficult to form long-term value accumulation. If Base cannot solve this core issue of revenue sharing, related content tokens may ultimately just become more beautifully packaged meme coins. In contrast, the construction of creator tokens has a higher threshold and is more challenging, so exploring project tokens may be a more realistic path, but this may require Coinbase to make certain trade-offs at the wallet application level.In response, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that there is still a lack of understanding in the market regarding the essence of content tokens and creator tokens. He mentioned that when users purchase content tokens, they can indirectly promote the economic activities and demand of the underlying creator tokens, as both can achieve value linkage and transmission through liquidity pool mechanisms.

BTSE Chief Operating Officer Jeff Mei stated that if the Federal Reserve maintains interest rates in the first quarter of 2026, Bitcoin could drop to $70,000, and Ethereum could fall to $2,400. However, the Federal Reserve ended quantitative tightening (QT) on December 1 and initiated the "Reserve Management Purchases" (RMPs) program, purchasing about $40 billion in short-term government bonds each month, which some analysts view as "invisible quantitative easing (QE)."If RMPs continue in the first quarter of 2026, it may inject liquidity and support the prices of risk assets. Mei predicts that Bitcoin could rise to between $92,000 and $98,000, while Ethereum may benefit from Layer-2 scaling improvements and increased DeFi attractiveness, rising to $3,600. Additionally, over $50 billion in ETF inflows and institutional accumulation will further drive the market upward.

According to Jin10 data reports, after a record-breaking shutdown period, the U.S. government has resumed operations, marking the imminent release of key indicators for analyzing the health and development trajectory of the U.S. economy."This period has felt like flying blind in the fog," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. "We have completely lost our navigational tools." Zandi noted that data from private institutions has prepared people for the potential outcomes of official data; however, if the actual data deviates from expectations, the market may experience significant volatility. "If the official data aligns with expectations, then everyone will be happy," he said, "but if the released data—whether positive or negative—deviates from our expectations, it could raise questions in the market about the effectiveness of the Federal Reserve's policies during the government shutdown."
